I know there are many views on this thorny subject. But take the most iconic model of all time, retain the classic case, add the maxi dial and gorgeous deep green bezel, and ask yourself... is there really a more perfect watch in the Rolex stable?

I suspect not ;)

Watchdog · 14 November 2010, 05:35 AM

Nice shots!

colpol · 14 November 2010, 05:43 AM

Nice pictures but personally - the green bezel ruins the look of the watch. Not for me.

JUSTROLEXES · 14 November 2010, 05:46 AM

Nice Shots and Go green

nauticajoe · 14 November 2010, 05:47 AM

I can't say its THE best but definitely up there in the ranks!

thesmallwave · 14 November 2010, 05:59 AM

Very nice photos, i can't say is the best, but can i say the Sub C LN is the best?
:):)
Long Live Sub(not subway lol)

esm · 14 November 2010, 06:12 AM

Nice pix Tony and I agree with ya. Gotta love the green.

I'm sure some people would say a 16610LV with black bezel insert...

niner niner seven · 14 November 2010, 06:14 AM

the best ever is always the current model.. at least rolex feels that way.

supercharged · 14 November 2010, 06:16 AM

Wish I could take photos like that

HL65 · 14 November 2010, 06:21 AM

The LV is a good bridge between the old and new generations, but for me, the steel GMT IIc is my idea of the perfect modern Rolex

GoldenBear · 14 November 2010, 06:35 AM

Everything but the color is great.

gettocard · 14 November 2010, 06:51 AM

Best Rolex ever ?? Not for me. Yes it's fun,yes it's funky but didn't work for me,I'll always stick with the classic blacks. I miss it sometimes and I would buy it back,but only as a fat4.

ersnyder · 14 November 2010, 06:54 AM

Great pics Tony! But in my book, mo' green is mo' bettah!

Yes there is a more perfect watch out there: the classic Sub with balck insert... I was never a huge fan of the old LV and and not a huge fan of the new one either. I just tried one on at my AD. I thikn it's pretty cool, but I'd never buy it as my first Rolex...I don't wear enough green...

Clearly the 16600 Sea Dweller is the best ever...right Andy?

No question about it !!! No green,RRR or TT twists

petesjag · 14 November 2010, 07:13 AM

Any rolex can be considered the best by their biggest fans...When wearing mine its the best...but when wearing my GMT II, its also the best...or my DJ II, thats the best...etc...etc....

RolexPete32 · 14 November 2010, 07:31 AM

I own one and enjoy it. Great watch.

Dweller of the Sea · 14 November 2010, 08:19 AM

All though I like the LV a lot, it´s never been my cup of tea.
I´ll stick to my SD 16600

In my book, it´s the best

Great pictures BTW

exchange83 · 14 November 2010, 08:23 AM

Great pictures. Agree the LV is a beautiful watch but tough call on if it's the BEST rolex ever.

jonathon555 · 14 November 2010, 08:29 AM

The most perfect is the Gmt iic , ceramic mixed with daytona bracelet style, maxi dial , green hand

The best

rfknauss · 14 November 2010, 08:40 AM

Tony ..... fab LV pics!

dddrees · 14 November 2010, 08:58 AM

Nice Pics.

darthmouse · 14 November 2010, 09:15 AM

Nice shots!

I'm curious, how did you achieve the black background? Some kind of box in a dark room?

L-16610 · 14 November 2010, 09:19 AM

yes
yes
yes
;-)

The best ? They're all very good
The most beautifull ? I do think so

10 years from now this will be a hot , wanted, sought after piece.

Grab them while you can, today still yours for 6K.
In the year 2020 yuo'll be sorry that you did not buy it today.
It is the new red sub

Paracentesis · 14 November 2010, 09:34 AM

Nice watch, nice pics.

Is it the bestest Rolex evah? ....... No it isn't. Not even close.

mic6 · 14 November 2010, 09:47 AM

16610, 16710, 16600 are much better but LV is not a bad watch

spuds · 14 November 2010, 09:48 AM

Great pic's of a great watch....

& that's all I'm saying!
